This is for all warrior odds and ends, this is going to be the tanking spec first then i'll put up the DPS one below

- That right there is the current Deep Wounds tanking spec, with that spec you only lose 5% crit but you also gain more threat and a lower stun duration.

- This is a tanking spec that doesn't get deep wounds but grabs the 5% crit and less rage cost on abilities. Same mitigation as spec above.
GEMS!
- Warrior tanking gems are pretty simple, most socket bonus's are worth getting now. This is what to use
- Straight stam
- Dodge/stam
- Parry/stam
- Hit/stam
- Defense/stam
There are a ton of options it is mainly dependent on what kind of gear you have and if you are worried about threat or mitigation.
Tanking macros!
- This macro makes it so every time you Devastate you automatically trigger Heroic Strike with your next melee swing.
#showtooltip Devastate
/cast Devastate
/stopcasting
/cast Heroic Strike
- This macro makes it so every time you Revenge you automatically trigger Heroic Strike with your next melee swing.
#showtooltip Revenge()
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/cast Revenge()
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/run UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/cast Heroic Strike())
The very last thing, if your dodge, parry, and block are all around 20-25% you can start focusing more on threat by getting gear with hit and expertise. These are really high stats but it gives you an idea of what you need to shoot for.
around 200 hit and 20 expertise will be just fine for this as well.
Defense cap is 540
